The Intel Ethernet converged network adapter X540-T2 is a modern innovation, which Intel as a leading company wants to use to promote 10-gigabit Ethernet in a broad server market. This adapter uses Intel's modern Ethernet semiconductor components, the Intel Ethernet controller X540, and a whole host of OEMs as a single-chip solution for LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) in order to supply 10-gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) on the server platforms.
